What worked for me was to first take a bolt and put a small dimple in the 
head (to keep the puller from drifting) and then thread the bolt part way 
into the shaft.  Then pull on the bottom of the hub - not on the flange 
(not strong enough) I found I needed a bearing puller to get under the hub 
- couldn't get a grip with the puller arms directly.  Then a couple of 
cycles of heat and cool and it came off with very little effort using a 8 
inch manual puller.
